When it comes to making a strong first impression, your business exterior speaks volumes, and few features are more visible or more trafficked than the parking lot. A well-designed, professionally installed asphalt parking lot is more than just a place for vehicles. It’s a foundational investment in your property’s functionality, appearance, and safety.
At Kingsway Services, we’ve built our reputation on delivering commercial paving solutions that stand the test of time. Whether you're managing a retail center, office complex, school, or municipal property in Wayne County or beyond, here's what truly makes a parking lot installation “built to last.”
A high-functioning parking lot does more than accommodate vehicles. It:
Cutting corners on materials or design can lead to early cracking, pooling water, or uneven surfaces, all of which require costly repairs down the line. That’s why investing in quality from the beginning pays off over time.
At Kingsway, we believe that every parking lot we pave in Ohio should deliver performance, durability, and visual appeal. Here are the core elements that determine success:
Before a single load of asphalt is poured, the ground beneath your lot must be properly prepared. This includes clearing debris, compacting the soil, and grading the surface for water drainage. Poor grading leads to puddling and eventual deterioration—problems that are avoidable with skilled preparation.
The sub-base is where structural integrity begins. A solid, well-compacted aggregate base supports the weight of daily traffic, delivery vehicles, and even snowplows. We use precise measurements and modern equipment to ensure the sub-base is installed correctly, because the longevity of your lot depends on what’s underneath it.
Not all asphalt is created equal. For commercial paving projects, we use high-quality mixes formulated to handle heavier loads and variable weather conditions. The mix must remain stable in Ohio’s fluctuating temperatures, from freezing winters to hot summer days.
Thickness matters when it comes to durability. Based on your expected traffic volume, we’ll recommend the right pavement depth. Just as critical is how that asphalt is compacted—our experienced crews ensure tight, even compaction to prevent air pockets and weak spots that lead to cracks.
A professional parking lot isn’t complete without clean, ADA-compliant striping and signage. Beyond safety, clear markings contribute to traffic flow and help businesses present a polished, well-maintained image.
In addition to parking areas, many commercial properties require access roads for deliveries, service vehicles, or customer drop-offs. These routes must be just as durable and well-planned as the main lot. Our commercial paving services include access road construction that integrates seamlessly with your overall site layout, supporting both form and function.
